A dental checkup at Gen 2 Dentistry includes a comprehensive examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any signs of decay, gum disease, or other oral health issues. We also perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, take digital X-rays if necessary, and discuss any findings or recommendations with you to ensure your oral health is on the right track.

The American Dental Association recommends that adults and children should visit their dentist for a checkup and cleaning at least twice a year. However, depending on your individual oral health status, we might suggest more frequent visits to manage specific issues or conditions.

Regular dental cleanings are crucial for preventing gum disease, cavities, and other oral health problems. These cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing at home cannot fully eliminate. Additionally, they provide an opportunity for your dentist to identify and address potential issues early on.

Yes, dental checkups can significantly impact your overall health. Poor oral health has been linked to several systemic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. By maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular checkups, you can help prevent these connections and keep your whole body healthier.

At Gen 2 Dentistry, we offer a wide range of preventive care services, including dental sealants, fluoride treatments, mouthguards for sports, and nightguards for teeth grinding (bruxism). These services are designed to protect your teeth from decay, wear, and injury, contributing to your long-term oral health.

If you experience dental anxiety, you’re not alone, and we’re here to help. Our team at Gen 2 Dentistry is trained to make your visit as comfortable and anxiety-free as possible. We offer various amenities and techniques to help you relax, and we’re happy to discuss these options with you before your appointment.

Dental X-rays are a safe and essential part of your dental care. They help us detect issues that aren’t visible during a regular examination, such as problems inside a tooth, beneath the gums, or in the jaw. At Gen 2 Dentistry, we use modern digital X-ray technology, which emits significantly lower radiation than traditional X-rays.

Maintaining your oral health between visits is crucial. We recommend brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco products. Additionally, wearing a mouthguard during sports and a nightguard if you grind your teeth can help protect your teeth from injury and wear.
